Chapter 497 497: It’s All Under Control

The next day, the Runestone Group exposed a big piece of news about the General Manager of the Group. The story was that Lake's son-in-law originally married Lake's daughter in a fake way. The reason why it was called "exposé" was that the news had been first released by a business weekly, allegedly revealed by people familiar with the matter.

This was originally gossip that was not linked to financial and business information. It should not have been spread so quickly, but what happened was that human nature was so greedy that gossip had a certain immeasurable effect on people at any level. It was just the nature of gossip. One could imagine that the influence of the gossip revealed in Business Weekly was no longer enough to describe the word "entertainment."

Not surprisingly, major web portals on the Internet began to forward in just one hour. The number of clicks on related posts was surprisingly high. The photos in the news were not very clear. They only took the faces of Joseph and Ruby. In the middle was a gossip lightning line, representing the relationship between the two broke.

It might not be enough to trigger so much criticism and writing if it was just divorce news. However, the public disclosure of the fake marriage between Joseph and Ruby aroused more people's curiosity about the life of a rich family. Even many people who didn't pay attention to the Runestone Group and didn't know about diamond companies started searching on the Internet. Some of the video sites were funny enough to match the hype and push a TV series of fights in rich families to the front page.

When the scandal spread to a certain extent and time, people naturally hoped that the party concerned would reply. But towards noon, Joseph first responded to the news and gave a reply. He admitted that the news was true. He and Ruby dissolved the false marriage, and Ruby responded after Joseph, whose reply was the same as his.

When asked by the media why the two had a fake marriage and why they dissolved their relationship, Ruby answered with ambiguity, saying that a fake marriage relationship could withstand many unnecessary troubles, but this kind of relationship could not last for a lifetime. So they broke the relationship at the right time.

Neither of them gave too many replies to the media, nor did they turn a blind eye to the uproar on the Internet. Their answers were just right, and more replies would make people suspicious. But if they did not answer, they would also make people suspicious. This kind of response at least told them the truth: the marriage between the two was false, and from that day on, the two no longer had any relationship. For a reason the parties did not say, and others' guesses were just for entertainment.

Joseph was sitting in the general manager's office when the news was getting hot. The new site of the New York Times behind him stood like Iron Man in the world, and then down was a street with cars flowing. Such urban scenery rendered a high dignity.

His eyes always looked at the clown bear on his desk. A clown bear in jeans was about 6 centimeters tall, furry, with bright eyes, a big mouth, and a big nose. In short, it was a very unique bear doll.

This was the gift that Irish gave him that day. When he opened it, he wondered whether it was a shirt, tie, or something.

He couldn't expect to take out the ugly thing. It was strange. He couldn't understand why Irish gave him such a thing as a girl to play with. Later he found a clue. As soon as he touched this thing, it began to laugh and rolled over. And such laughing would make him smile.

Was she dissatisfied with his unusual smile?

At this time, Daisy knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Joseph staring at the bear, she was not surprised. She stepped forward to report. "Ruby Lake has already expressed her attitude to the media.

The light shrouded the man leaning against the back of the chair, with no facial expression on his face, slightly nodding, and he said coldly, "Keep looking at the public opinion. Don't go too far."

"Rest assured, it's all under control." The so-called "insider" was nothing more than a self-directed and self-acting drama.

Joseph nodded, and he always rested assured about Daisy.

"Mr. Dover, the President, was on his way to the company. In today's board of directors meeting, he will personally preside over the meeting." Daisy looked worried.

Since the marriage of Joseph and Ruby, Henry had not apparently handed over the first place, but in fact, he had given the company full authority to Joseph to take charge of it. There had been a lot of speculation in private that this position was left to Joseph to sit on. They also thought that Henry would hand over the position when he got his grandchild.

But that day, Henry Lake changed his normal state and went to the company. It seemed that the situation had changed.

Joseph faintly smiled, "He is the President, personally presiding over the meeting is no surprise."

"Yes." Daisy could not read Joseph's mind and did not deliberately guess, handing the documents to him.

Joseph took it and opened it up.

"This is the invitation to present the Lendit Forum in San Francisco, and the responsible man of that forum also called to express his invitation, and he's waiting for your reply," Daisy said.

Joseph did not look at the document and put it down, "I will think about it."

"Okay."

When Daisy was about to leave, Joseph stopped her.

She came back at his disposal.

"Bowen today will arrive at Terminal 3 at two o'clock in the afternoon. You pick him up." He and Bowen had been busy since the last time they left Pennsylvania. He received a call from him. It seemed that his decision to come to New York was also a sudden one.

Daisy was slightly stunned, Bowen?

"Daisy?" He was surprised to see her.

Daisy reacted, whose face was slightly unnatural, "Mr. Dover, can you arrange for other people to pick him up? I can't leave this afternoon."
